Compostables aren’t the sustainable solution they seem to be—shifting to reusables is the key

As you all know, although American by birth and very proud of this country and what it stands for, I actually lived in Canada long enough to feel as though it was my real adult home. The majority of our life took place there. Our children grew up there and I am proud of the fact that they grew up with that “out of town” sweetness, which actually is a subject for another article.
